"The White Lilac Inn is comfortable and an elegant place to stay.
Upon our arrival we were met by Mari who is a sweet inn keeper. Her inn boasts of antiques and the modern (Jacuzzi). Our room was great and we even got the opportunity to use the balcony because is was warm even in February. The breakfasts are made for you after you enter the sunroom which I thought was a nice touch over the standard buffet breakfasts. We would definately return to the White Lilac Inn."
